‘SciViews::R’ - Assertions and Meaningful Error Messages

The {svAssert} package provides tools for defensive programming in R, with fast, but versatile assertions partly based on {checkmate}. When an assertion fails, it works hard to issue meaningful and rich-formatted error messages (thanks to rlang::abort() and cli::cli_abort()). These messages can be easily translated in other natural languages. {svAssert} can even translate messages in other packages after they are thrown.
